EDITORS COMMENTS
This litho print showcases Mohammed Abdullah Hassan, famously known as the "Mad Mullah" a prominent Somali religious and military leader. The image, created by Frank Feller in the 20th century, captures the essence of this influential figure who played a significant role in Somali history. Hassan's commanding presence is evident as he sits atop a majestic camel, symbolizing his leadership and strength. Dressed in traditional attire, he exudes an air of authority and determination. As the leader of the Dervish State in East Africa during colonial times, Hassan led a resistance movement against foreign powers seeking to exploit Somalia. The illustration from The Sphere magazine provides a glimpse into this historical period on August 24th, 1901. It highlights Hassan's pivotal role as both a warrior and religious figurehead within his community. His efforts were driven by his deep-rooted Islamic beliefs and desire for independence from external forces. This litho print not only commemorates Mohammed Abdullah Hassan but also serves as a reminder of Somalia's rich cultural heritage and its struggles against colonialism. It encapsulates the spirit of resistance and resilience that defined this era in Somali history. As we observe this powerful image today, it prompts us to reflect on the enduring legacy left behind by leaders like Mohammed Abdullah Hassan – individuals who fought tirelessly for their people's freedom while upholding their faith with unwavering conviction.
